>VFP has a single pass report writer, which means it has no idea what the total pages are until it finishes the report. To get what you want you need to run the report twice, at the end of the first run save _pageno to a variable and then run the report agian. IN the report use your variable for the of pages number.

I have 2 questions:
1. Where do you run the firs reprt to? ( screen view, memvar, ,cursor, ??)
2. How will running the report the second time affect other variables ( like sums, etc) the second time around? would you have to have a different format report?
TIA,
